Well I have been a Fan of Ubuntu for some years now and I have been running it on and of for a while now. I still have to use windows, because I am a C# developer by day and for the libs we use and the development we do @ work Mono won’t cut it, so my Notebook is windows only. I used a virtual machine and emulated Ubuntu on it with great success in the past and before I sold my Desktop, it had Ubuntu 6X running very nicely. A week or so ago I got some old PC gear from my uncle, I decided this would be it, I would install Ubuntu 7.10 and experience the joys of open source once again! (Well actually open source powers my home network, with a IPCOP box for ADSL access and firewalling, and a Ubuntu server ed box, for hosting my home’s homepage. 
I owe allot to Open source, and Mark. )
The system comprises of a AMD Athlon 1.5ghz cpu which sits nicely on NForce 2 IGP Mobo, with 700 odd megs of ram and a 40gig hard dirve. A modest little system to say the least. 
But it works nicely and will be the core of a few projects I have lined up for 2008, the first of which will be a Home Control/Automation project inspired by Bwired. So keep an eye out for this box in the near future right here on tech-talk.
